We have had five and a half fun-packed years with Harry, he is now sadly outgrown and my daughter is busy competing on her 13.2hh. I had hoped to keep him for my younger daughter but she just isn't interested.
Harry did step down nicely to do the job of first pony for us and taught my daughter then aged 7 to ride, on the lunge, progressing to riding by herself around the school, jumping small courses and attending weekly pony club rallies. He also did the same for his previous owner's little boy. However, I would say Harry would be much happier being a second pony, he is clever, he has an engine and he can be strong jumping bigger courses.
In his time with us he has done PC and NSEA jumping and dressage, however he has not been out for quite a while due to being outgrown, a broken wrist (trampoline) and other sports commitments, we have kept him ticking over, so he is fit and ready to go. He has jumped around 80/85cm courses at home and on clinics. On the few occasions we have taken him cross country schooling, he has gone up/down steps, jumped ditches and gone through the water. He has participated in sponsored rides, he is safe in open spaces cantering in the fields, and has given my daughter the joyous feeling of galloping on Camber Sands beach at dawn! He has been to pony club camp and he has previously participated in some mounted games winter pairs competitions and training.
Harry is great to hack alone/company. He has been a lead rein pony for us too and I have regularly taken him out with a child on board in one hand and dog in the other. My daughter from quite a young age would take him for a good canter around the fields alone, sometimes following a herd of deer, whilst I walked up with our dogs. He has been well behaved when we've met traffic on our lanes. He is good to load and travel, but prefers company.
Harry has no vices - apart from his love of eating, but sadly for him, he is kept on a strict diet! He is absolutely no bother to catch, bath, clip, vet, farrier (barefoot). He would suffer from sweet itch and also get a sunburnt nose so I keep him protected during the season. He has never been lame or unwell, my physio checks him when she does our horses and he's never needed any treatment. He's always perky, friendly and happy to see you.
I think as a working hunter pony is where Harry's talent lies. He goes in a lovely outline and he is great over rustic fences. He is gorgeous looking and wears a beautiful white mask on his face. In his previous home he had a very successful showing career. He can also produce a very smart dressage test. My ideal home for Harry would be with a competent rider who enjoys dressage/showing or whp and would get the absolute best from him.
£5500 or £6000 including his Kent and Masters Pony Club saddle and full wardrobe. Open to vetting. Sad sale of a much loved pony. 5* home most important.

Absolutely top class 7yr old 12hh approx Welsh A dapple grey mare with 4 white stocks.
Arian was purchased as a potential open 122 WHP- however we feel she would be best suited at this stage to the junior 122 class (which unfortunately we do not have a rider for) with later progression into the open 122s or alternatively a flat ridden pony.
She has exceptional conformation with tonnes of bone and feather, a beautiful front, excellent straight movement and the most incredible walk I’ve seen on a pony.
She has been and done a bit of everything inc flat ridden juniors, XC, WHP, dressage and turns her hoof to everything. Her first WHP show we took her too she had 2x clears and 2 wins. Then her second ever WHP show she had a clear and win at 60cm and a clear and 2nd at 70cm. She always scores excellent conformation and show marks.
Arian is beautifully schooled in all three paces although wouldn’t be for a child that wants to kick along at half a mile an hour as she’s forward off of the leg. She is 110% safe, ridden in a snaffle with excellent brakes and has been ridden in open fields no problem. Never needs ear plugs or calmers at a show. She would make a HOYS winning potential LR/FR/Junior ridden or alternatively a superb dressage prospect.
She’s truly one of a kind and one of the nicest Welsh As I’ve had. The reason she is for sale to a 10* home is because I’ve recently become engaged so I will be cutting back on a few ponies for monetary reasons.
Absolutely no day dreamers or joy riders.. she will absolutely NOT go to the first home to pop up as this is a big priority for us.
